Seems familiar. And familiar. And familiar. :roll: ;) Oh, and slightly repetitious. :lol: :shhh: :shifty:

I haven't read the book yet so I don't want to spoil myself in watching the movie. But for the movie trailer impression, I'm intrigued. :)

I want to read the book before I watch it. I've actually read other books by this author and they were very entertaining, so I have high hopes for the book and the movie.

Same here. I usually don't watch movie adaptation of books I haven't read yet. It's my first read from the author so I don't have any idea about his works.

I like to read the books before I see the movie. For me, I usually end up preferring the book. However, with this book, I was getting bored with all the repetition, so I hope that the movie is better. The trailer looks promising.

I'm not excited for the movie. The trailer looks like they're making a horror movie. I think that perverts all the completely real and sentimental moments. I hate when Hollywood tries to ruin my favorite books.

This seems like many other movies, which isn't a good thing. I read the book a while ago so I don't remember much of it, but I recall it wasn't as bad as this trailer. I don't think the movie is going to be fantastic, but I hope it will prove me wrong. It's unfortunate how barely any movies can be as good as the book.

I've seen this movie before and somehow I didn't liked it that much because I've read similar stories before. It's very predictable.

Terrible, just terrible. Probably because I read the book first. The characters in the movie were not at all like I pictured them while I was reading. And not sure if it's just because of how it was portrayed, but the movie was BORING. I really enjoyed the book and flew through it, but the movie just dragged on and on and on. Also unfortunate because I love Zoey Deutch and thought she did great in Vampire Academy.
